Effect and evaluation of boiled, cold and alcoholic plant extract on parasitic arthropods

Abstract

The current research included the use of four concentrations (25, 50, 75, 100) for boiled and cold aqueous extracts of peganum harmala seeds and the use of ethyl alcohol concentrations (1.5, 3, 6) to know their effect on adults of the hard tick parasite Ixodidae in Najaf Governorate. Results: The concentration of 100 mg/ml of boiled and cold alcoholic and aqueous extract of the seeds of the plant caused paralysis of hard ticks within (12) (17) hours and their death within (18) hours (23) hours, respectively. While the concentration of (25) mg/ml of the boiled and cold extract of the seeds of the plant group C recorded the paralysis of the hard tick within (22) hours and its destruction within (28) hours. The paralysis of the parasite’s movement did not occur during the same concentration of the cold extract of the seed of the ruminant plant. evaluation
